The food was excellent! Sandwiches & traditional breakfast. Salmon looked great & I enjoyed the Ukrainian sausage 🙂 Tables are ideal for 2 or 4 but they accommodated us as 6 & we still had space. Good coffee too.
I just had a breakfast at cafeterra , it is a delightful brunch spot with a warm, modern vibe & beautifully crafted dishes that feel both comforting & elevated. The Norwegian breakfast was a standout, light, healthy , & perfectly balanced & the coffee was smooth & rich. Friendly service & thoughtful details made the whole experience feel special.
I highly recommend this place for a good brunch !
Cafeterra is the cutest classy place on Notre Dame. The food was amazing & the coffee was delicious. Great atmosphere & great service. I highly recommended.
This café in Montreal instantly won my heart. It's spotless clean, cozy, & filled with pleasant music that makes you want to stay longer. The staff are incredibly kind & welcoming, & the service is quick & efficient.
The coffee is truly amazing - rich, smooth, & comforting, just like at home. The food is fresh & delicious, especially the avocado toast with salmon & the almond croissant. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal. & the nicest surprise of all - it's run by Ukrainians, which made the visit even more special. 💛💙
Wonderful cafe right next to downtown Montreal! It has a peaceful atmosphere & is always cozy, clean, & comfortable-perfect for spending time with friends. The menu is quite varied, with a great selection of coffee drinks. Whether you're stopping by in the morning or coming for lunch, it's a great spot.
My absolute favorite is the Norwegian breakfast with salmon, avocado, & scrambled eggs. If you're more into bacon & sausages, the Ukrainian breakfast would be a great match. The staff is always nice & helpful.
Highly recommend this place-have a great time while visiting Montreal!

We wanted a late afternoon coffee & treat. There treats looked good but mostly sold out of anything we wanted. The food looked amazing but we didn't try anything. I ordered a cappuccino & Americano, price were typical. You get a table number & a waitress bring you your order. They brought the cappuccino but the Americano they forgot completely… we had to go in & ask for it. Waitress forgot it. With that said the drinks were fantastic once we got them. Dog friendly patio
🌟 An amazing place!
This is not just a coffee shop - it's a cozy corner filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee & genuine smiles. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, the staff is always friendly, & the coffee is absolutely fantastic! 😍🫶
Was very pleasantly surprised. Great service & atmosphere. Coffee is great, food is good. Not wow but good. Croissant was not great. Chocolate croissant was good.
I've been in a lots Cafeteira in montreal but this one is my favorite. Coffee is amazing food is delicious & they are very into detail like me . I love the ambiance inside & now the outdoor seating is can tell they put there heart on it. Service is great 👍 I definitely recommend this place
The best coffee I tried in a long time. Like in Lviv, where we used to enjoy coffee at little coffee shops. Little cup of macchiato offers so much energy that it is enough to walk all over the city
